6 Using the Back-Gass Cooktop Cooking on a back-gass cooktop is amost the same as cooking on any cooktop. There are three differences you shoud know about to get the best cooking resuts. 1. The cookware you use. 2. What to expect. 3. The care and ceaning. Cookwae Use ony fat-bottomed utensis on the cooktop. Pans without fat bottoms and speciaty items with rounded or ridged bottoms (woks or tea kettes) wi cause uneven heating and poor cooking resuts. To check your cookware for fatness, pace a straight-edge across the bottom of each piece. Move the straight edge around. If ight shows anywhere between the pan and the straight edge, the pan is not fat. Do not use it. CAUTION: The use oi utensis without fat bottoms coud cause damage to the cooktop. Utensi bottoms must be cean and free from nicks and scratches. Heating a soied pan can eave a stain on the cooktop and cause scratches. CAUTION: Using a pan wth a noked or scratched bottom coud damage the coodop. DO NOT side pans across the cooktop. Siding pans on the cooktop surface coud eave marks. Auminum marks can be removed If they are not heated. Other marks may be permanent. See page 9 for ceaning and caring suggestions. 6
